February's most fashionable: Alexa Chung

There has been no stopping the ascent of Alexa Chung's well-documented style. As if her sartorial flair needed any more praise - she was crowned Style Icon 2011 at the British Fashion Awards last December for the second year running - the British Fashion Council bestowed the ultimate honour this month by
appointing her as their Young Style Ambassador

The timing of this announcement chimed perfectly with the start of
London Fashion Week
, and Chung proved she really can have her cake and eat it. Residing predominantly in New York, where she hosts new TV show
24 Hour Catwalk
, her British roots allow her to dip in to both fashion scenes.

At the start of the month, several days spent at the New York shows allowed her to showcase her girly side in skirts and dresses paired with grey woollen tights. Never predictable, she's one of very few who could attend a Tequila party in stonewash dungarees and not look like she's in bad fancy dress.

Then, over in London, where temperatures were milder, Chung experimented with a more androgynous aesthetic: an arsenal of tailored trousers and loose boyfriend shirts showed a shift away from her beloved Peter Pan collars.

February has certainly seen Chung putting the hours in, and the lesson we've learned is that we wish we had a mobile wardrobe which looked so effortless.
